Resonance has been privileged. Although stronger than hard rubber the "grounds" is not an unbreakable material. Care for your mouthpiece gently to get the most out of it.
A185 is a 1.85 mm tip opening (72/00 ) equivalent to the traditional 5 / 5* opening. Combined with a medium short facing length and a progressive facing curve. Very stable with enough flexibility to vary sound colors, fast response.
Best fit with 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 reeds, Jazz cut as well as Classical cut.
The Medium Large Chamber
Is an Ogival, more traditional type of chamber. It offers quite the same advantages of dynamics with more separation in the spectrum between highs and lows. A more airy sound with a lot of bounce. The perfect mouthpiece for “Hard Bop” style. Reminiscent of the sound of the 50’s, playing with the efficiency of the best “modern” mouthpieces.
